You think I run away, I'm gonna stay.
Nothing you can do can change my ways.
I don't wanna fight, I'm a lover.

You spit in my face, you flex your arms.
You look so tough, but your head's on wrong.
You should turn around, your days are numbered.

'Cause love has always ruled the world
it's deep within our souls, you can't fight it.
And all the little boys and girls,
that wanna play with guns it's no use.
You always lose to love.
You're always gonna lose to love.

Now when she ran away she stole my heart.
Threw it in a bag, and took the R.
I was filled with pain and hate and anger.

The years went by I was such a mess.
I didn't wanna deal with my aching chest.
I had given up and then I found you.

And love has always ruled the world
It's deep within our souls, you can't fight it.
And all the little boys and girls,
That wanna play with guns it's no use.
You always lose to love.
You're always gonna lose to love.
